New Play Contest: Interfaith & Religious Diversity

Facebook page

Theatre Simpson is sponsoring a new playwriting contest. We are looking for new short plays with a focus on Interfaith and Religious Diversity for our Festival of Short Plays 2019.

Theatre Simpson annually produces a Festival of Short Plays based around a topic or playwright. This year, and for the second time since 2017, we are focusing on new plays. The festival is a student-produced project developed in the Senior Theatre Seminar course. Working collaboratively, the students will choose the plays, direct, design, and perform.

• Plays must be original, unpublished, and unproduced. Plays will be accepted that have been work-shopped or had staged readings.

•Uncomplicated set/technical requirements (minimal set changes).

• Small to medium (2-7 actors) cast.

• Plays chosen for inclusion in the Festival will receive a $100 flat fee royalty payment.
